"My policy has been, and will continue to be, while I have the honor to remain in the administration of the government, to be upon friendly terms with, but independent of, all the nations of the earth. To share in the broils of none. To fulfil our own engagements. To supply the wants, and be carriers for them all: Being thoroughly convinced that it is our policy and interest to do so." ~ George Washington

Superintendent Threatens Termination of Homeschooling

Earlier this month, Home School Legal Defense Association intervened on behalf of a member family in the Carmichaels Area School District whose superintendent had unlawfully threatened to terminate their home education program if they did not submit a mid-year evaluation. He also threatened to notify social services and the magistrate’s court of their “defiance” if they failed to follow his orders. He even had a police officer deliver a letter to the parents at their home, outlining his demands and the consequences of their failure to comply with them.
